Notes

Article written by Phyllis Estes for Today's Dallas Woman "Women to Watch" on Lory Masters reads: The world might be tempted to label Lory Masters a feminist. Those who know her say she is a force of nature and an activist who speaks for women who cannot speak for themselves. Her presence extends from Dallas to international causes and concerns. Lory's broad smile and throaty laugh can be heard three tables away. She's a magnet for fun. But if you look a little closer, you will see her table is piled with files, yellow legal tablets, and Lory's ever-present calendar. The truth is, Lory Masters could run a small country between her appetizer and coffee. She has helped found and create such organizations as The Oasis Drug and Alcohol Program and the Women's Chorus of Dallas. Currently she is the Co-Chair of a Capital Campaign Fund to raise $20 million to build the Cathedral of Hope at Lemmon Ave, and Inwood designed by world renowned architect Philip Johnson. She remarks "Raising the money to build this church means more to me than anything I have ever done. It will leave my mark in the community and in the world. It is also the greatest challenge I have ever faced, but I am loving it! This new church will be the first cathedral of the 21st century, and people will come from all over the world to see it. I'm very proud to have served with my Co-Chair and friend John Thomas." She has served as National Co-Chair of the Humans Rights Campaign Board Emeritus and is currently serving as an International Board Member of An Uncommon "Legacy Foundation." Lory has received the Humanitarian of the Year Award from the Human Rights Campaign and been named Volunteer of the Year by Dallas Awards Committee for community service. Lory has been the owner of Master Realtors and a member of the National Association of Realtors for nearly twenty years in the Oak Lawn area of Dallas. I think Lory Masters must have an extra eight hours in any single day than the rest of us. Congratulations, Lory, for being Today's Dallas Woman's "Woman to Watch" for June, 1996.
